May inform vascular monitoring in lipid therapy; leaves open prospective outcome trials before clinical adoption.
Τζιόμαλος et al. (2007) conducted a review in Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. Lipid lowering drugs was evaluated on Endothelial function and arterial stiffness. This review summarizes methods to assess endothelial function and arterial stiffness, and discusses the effects of lipid-lowering treatments on these markers of vascular health.
